post/pre increment与post/pre decrement的简易理解

这个两个东西虽然非常简单，在C++和JAVA当中都有清楚的解释，但是我写下这个文章，纯粹是为了初学者便于理解。Think in Java关于这个知识点的论述原文如下：，因为英文很简单我就不翻译了，只是做一点点解释。

There are two versions of each type of operator, often called the prefix and postfix versions. 

Preincrement means the ++ operator appears before the variable, and post-increment 
means the ++ operator appears after the variable. Similarly, pre-decrement means the -- 
operator appears before the variable, and post-decrement means the -- operator appears 
after the variable. For pre-increment and pre-decrement (i.e., ++a or --a), the operation is 
performed and the value is produced. For post-increment and post-decrement (i.e., a++ or 
a--), the value is produced, then the operation is performed. As an example:  

//: operators/AutoInc.java 
// Demonstrates the ++ and -- operators. 
import static net.mindview.util.Print.*; 
 
public class AutoInc { 
  public static void main(String[] args) { 
    int i = 1; 
    print("i : " + i); 
    print("++i : " + ++i); // Pre-increment 
    print("i++ : " + i++); // Post-increment 
    print("i : " + i); 
    print("--i : " + --i); // Pre-decrement 
    print("i-- : " + i--); // Post-decrement 
    print("i : " + i); 
  } 
} /* Output: 
i : 1 
++i : 2 
i++ : 2 
i : 3 
--i : 2 
i-- : 2 
i : 1 
*///:~ 

print("++i : " + ++i); // Pre-increment 
可以看作是两行代码：

i=i+1;

print(i);

而print("i++ : " + i++); // Post-increment

可以看作如下两行代码：

print(i);

i=i+1;
